Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams High-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 100 milliliters Coconut cream
- 50 grams Protein powder (chocolate or unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 50 grams Nuts or seeds (optional, for coating)
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the coconut cream until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot coconut cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and fully combined.
Stir in the protein powder, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until it is firm enough to scoop and shape.
Using a small melon baller or spoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and quickly roll them into small balls using your palms.
Place the unsweetened cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle in the cocoa powder until fully coated.
Alternatively, if using nuts or seeds for coating, finely chop them and roll the truffles in them after the cocoa powder step.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy the decadent and protein-packed treat!
